Kindergarten End of Year

Help me give my students joyful, hands-on materials and meaningful graduation keepsakes to celebrate their resilience and support their continued learning after a traumatic year losing our school and community to the Palisades Fire.

My Project

My kindergarteners are some of the most resilient, joyful learners I’ve ever met. This year, our school was lost to the Palisades fire, and many of my students also lost their homes and communities. Despite these heartbreaking challenges, they continue to show up with smiles, curiosity, and a deep love of learning. What makes them special is their unshakable spirit, kindness toward one another, and excitement for every opportunity to grow—especially when it’s fun and creative.

This project will help us celebrate their strength and reinforce essential skills through play.

Beach and summer-themed materials like toys, beach balls, and stickers will engage students in hands-on, playful activities that build motor skills, creativity, and teamwork. Memory books will serve as keepsakes where students can reflect on their journey, while graduation gifts, diplomas, and recognition certificates will provide a sense of accomplishment and pride. A graduation banner and decorations will add to the excitement, making this milestone feel special and festive.

Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will allow me to purchase tailored resources to keep learning engaging and fun. Finally, hole punches and paint pens will help students organize and personalize their work, creating a sense of ownership and pride in their accomplishments.

My goal is to give them an uplifting send-off that not only celebrates how far they’ve come but also supports their continued social-emotional development and love of learning. Thank you for helping provide my students with these meaningful resources!
